Christopher Johnson's ASCII Art Collection was revealed to the Internet in November of 1994, back when Netscape 1.0 was "soooo much better than Mosaic" and Internet Explorer didn't exist yet. Can you believe it? 29 years later, and and this site is still here! From 1995 to 2018, this ascii art collection was hosted under the chris.com domain. I still own that domain name, but leased it to a company for a couple years. That lease has ended, but I think it's better for the collection to remain here at its new home.

Important note: I am not an ASCII artist. I did not create these pictures. I collected them and am donating my server to preserve them and make them available to the world. This is my entire collection of ASCII artwork! If you want something I don't have here, I would suggest visiting the ASCII Art Newsgroup on Google.
